Please do as I have done and report these... oh... words just fail me... to
their ISPs using a service like
http://www.spamcop.com
or
http://www.samspade.org

DO NOT REPLY TO BE REMOVED! All this does is confirm your email address.
They might stop sending you email, but they will then sell your address to
another spammer who will send you more.

Complaining to the ISP and to orbs and blackhole (as spamcop and samspade do
for you) is the only way to stop this.

You might also voice your displeasure to the staff of open systems by
sending a note to them. I have CC'd all of their email addresses that I was
able to find in this message. If all 1900 members of the PICList just hit
reply to all on this post and type in how they feel about spammers...

Subject: [PICLIST] [pci]: Spam


I had recieved solicitations
from Open system about a
compact pci, as most of the
people on this list.
I had asked them to remove me
from the list that seem to
have been mined from this
list.
Now I get the same stuff only
with the address I used to
send them the remove request.

How do you stop company's from
doing so?
Yes I can do a filter but I
really THEM to do the work.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Robertf
